Great artist relationships leave their mark on the music—and sometimes on the instruments themselves. The Godin ACS Nylon Steve Stevens Signature 25th Anniversary acoustic-electric guitar celebrates more than 25 years of collaboration between Godin Guitars and acclaimed guitarist Steve Stevens, honoring a creative partnership rooted in innovation, performance and a shared pursuit of exceptional tone. Crafted in Canada, this limited-edition model combines the acclaimed ACS Multiac platform with a silver leaf maple body, Canadian Laurentian basswood wings, a striking flame maple top and custom LR Baggs electronics with 13-pin connectivity. A high-gloss purple finish, Richlite appointments and exclusive collector-focused details make this instrument instantly recognizable, while its responsive nylon-string design delivers the versatility, comfort and stage-ready performance synonymous with Steve's caliber of musicianship.
Premium Tonewoods Create a Balanced Acoustic-Electric Voice
At the heart of the instrument is a carefully selected combination of tonewoods chosen for clarity, balance and articulation. The silver leaf maple body is paired with Canadian Laurentian basswood wings to create a resonant foundation that responds evenly across the frequency spectrum. A beautifully figured flame maple top adds visual depth while contributing additional snap and definition to the guitar's voice. Together, these materials help produce a refined nylon-string sound that remains expressive and detailed whether performing solo, recording direct or working within a full ensemble mix.
Multiac Design Delivers Comfortable Modern Playability
The ACS Multiac platform has long been prized for bridging the gap between traditional nylon-string instruments and modern performance guitars. A mahogany neck, 25.5" scale length and 16" fingerboard radius create a familiar feel for electric guitar players while preserving the warmth and responsiveness associated with nylon strings. The Richlite fingerboard and bridge offer durability and a smooth playing surface, while the 1.9" Graph Tech nut provides comfortable string spacing for intricate fingerstyle passages, expressive chord voicings and dynamic lead work. The result is an instrument equally capable on stage, in the studio or during extended practice sessions.
LR Baggs Electronics Capture Every Nuance
Designed for professional performance environments, this anniversary model is equipped with an onboard preamp and custom LR Baggs electronics that faithfully reproduce the instrument's natural character. The system delivers clear, detailed amplified tone while providing the control and consistency needed for live performance and recording applications. In addition, 13-pin connectivity supports compatibility with Roland GR synthesizers and many other 13-pin devices, opening the door to expanded creative possibilities beyond traditional acoustic-electric performance. Whether plugged directly into a PA, recording interface or guitar synth rig, the electronics package is built to preserve nuance and expression.
Exclusive Appointments Celebrate a Milestone Collaboration
Created as a commemorative instrument, the ACS Nylon Steve Stevens Signature 25th Anniversary model features a range of details designed specifically for this limited production run. The high-gloss purple finish gives the guitar an unmistakable stage presence, while custom graphics, signature elements and matching visual appointments reinforce its unique identity. Each instrument is individually signed and numbered, emphasizing its collectible nature. A custom hardshell case with a purple plush interior, Steve Stevens guitar pick and Certificate of Authenticity complete a premium presentation worthy of this landmark release.
